Word Up Flava's truly?Yerp,Flava's NCBL review is back on track.Been missing a while,got sumthings to do,so let's just get it on wit it ayte.Da 2nd round gives us 4 matches tat is a must-watch in order for da quarter-finalists to advance through if they wish to do so to da Finals.So,here are da game reviews of da 4 matches available.
SWOOSH 2 VS BENCHWARMERS / BW
It's da young,against da veteran team well,most of them,da most experience and da 2-years-amateurs,da strength and da speed,da Younger Supermen against da Bws.
It's da repeat of wat most of us had witnessed from last season where da two teams had already met wit each other.& last season,they were neck to neck til' da very last second.But ended up,Swoosh 2 took da win by 9 points ahead of da younger counterparts.
Impressively,BW matures a lot this season,better basketball,better stamina,better plays,& most of all,better defence.Under da supervision of Phantoms' very own Imran Bakri or well known as da Jumper,BW looks to punish Swoosh 2 very much this round.But at da start of da match,they were trailing da old-timers by 11-2.Da 1st quarter dun look gud for them though.But tat truly didn't stop them at all.
Da start of 2nd quarter,BW jumps back into da game.Wit more furiousness,pace and speed,tat forces Swoosh 2 to do several turnovers too.Unbelievable ain't it?They manage to chase points and closing down within 6 points.But Swoosh's very own Farid whom they called Orang Tua or Old Man,and BW's ex-Center during KLNC,were at his top performance,giving his best moves by spinning,do fake shots and block shots too.
Da much interesting part was during da 3rd,where BW pull da points within 2,by using their secret defence,da Full Court Press.And they did it.They manage to force Swoosh 2 to make terrible passes,they even attempt several steals by Mislan himself.But da gap didn't last long as yet again,Old Man Farid put their patience to their test,and BW made silly fumbles and by da end of da 3rd,da gap was back at 10 points.
BW didn't back down however as they manage to cover up their silly mistakes during da fourth,but due to Old Man's tremendous double-double figures as wat Mr.Rpk mentioned from his blog from da previous three quarters,BW couldn't manage to keep up da trail,and loosing again to Swoosh 2 by 7 points this season.And as da buzzer sounds,da end is there in da 2nd round for da BWs.
ARIONS VS TITANS
Well,to be honest,it's just a matter of which team from which group is better.Arions,representing group B,and da Titans,representing group C.Easy saying is tat,Titans didn't play well witout their savior Ayie not da big bear Ayie and ended up loosing to Arions.
Arions played better than da Titans as da Titans played like every ball possession they had is down to da last 5 seconds.Get da point?No?Alrite2,they played fast-break pace all da time.Whereas Arions played more rotation and more 3 point jumpers too.
NIRWANA VS QUAKES
Rookies will always be rookies.At least,tat's wat da veterans said so.& indeed,they were rite.Da Shocks was juz a figure-team to being so called "frightening".They have da advantages,yerp,wit da heights,da speed,da ball handlers,but they juz dun ave da brains.
So yea,Nirwana has tis 6 footer kid,and heck yea,he was gud in rebounding and block shots too.Never have I witness someone can make a near double-double by gaining numbers in rebounding and block shots.Tat kid took 10 boards and 9 blocks.But in terms of points,well,he sux anyways didn't do pretty well.
Though da Shocks was a young team,but tat doesn't mean tat they can't play.They can,but lack of leadership and tactics.As they were facing Quakes,they did put up a fight.Quakes mostly loss in terms of rebounding,lack of height I guess.But Quakes' defence were excellent.Steal by steals,and converted shots were made tat lead them to score da W and put them into da quarterfinals.
Quakes,led by their Scoring Machine Munex,was impressive somehow.It looks as though they made like 80% of their shots.Converted shots.Not those airballs or missed shots.Anyhow,another representative from Group B advances into da quarters.
J3 (C) VS WEMOTOR.COM
Again,it looks like a fight between da rookies and da pros.Well,to make it short and simple,J3 (C) is very well known for their rough plays.Literally.Elbowing,pulling opponent's jersey,stepping on their shoes,blocking opponent's knee,but hey,tat's basketball.It's a sport,not a cooking show.
But unfortunately for da younger Bangi Boyz,they met wit a team tat is well known on how to play dirty too.Especially Izzat "Da Freestylist" Tsunami.Yea,I witnessed maself,when da kids tried to play dirty,Mr.Freestylist can do it double,and serves them rite.
Anyways,as most had predict way before da 2nd round started,WeMotor.com will obviously grab da win.And not juz tat,Mr.Freestylist's elder brother,MRN,did a spectacular show for da crowd.By breaking ankles.Tat moment proves tat NCBL is juz not a minor league,it's a basketball league understand?.
So NC fans,we've done wit da review,now coming soon for da preview of da upcoming quarterfinals,ouh yea!! In da mean time,stay tune and enjoy da Ankle Breakin' move made by MRN below ayte.Til' then,stay AWE~SO~ME!!
